Field Notes

Description:

Golden brown with red eyespot.

Habitat:

Surface of man-made pond in a nature reserve, SW Pennsylvania

Notes:

Euglenas are very flexible and can present different aspects as they move about. Note that in one image the Euglena is longer and narrower than in the other image. This is just a matter of the organism being extended or contracted; both are members of the same species.
